ACADEMIC
ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE
Gustavus has a large number of offices and programs designed to assist students – with information about graduation requirements, or direct assistance related to academic work or personal issues. This is not an exhaustive list, but it’s a good head start on what information is available, and where to find it. This list will continue to be expanded throughout the semester.
The Writing Center (in Confer 232)
At the Writing Center, you’ll work with a peer tutor one-on-one: you can talk
frankly about your writing concerns and receive on-the-spot feedback. The
Writing Center is not a proofreading service; rather, it is a peer teaching
facility that helps you to clarify your thinking, structure your papers,
develop evidence, hone your style, and practice self-editing skills. Please
call x6027 for hours and location, or log on to www.gustavus.edu/writingcenter.
You can make appointments online!

The Culpeper Language Center is an integral
component of the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. The

COUNSELING CENTER (Johnson Student
Union 204)
The Counseling Center works with Gustavus
students to enhance their personal development and academic achievement. At
times, students experience personal, relational, social, or academic
difficulties which they cannot fully resolve on their own, and find it helpful
to talk to a professional counselor about their concerns. In order to help
students with such difficulties, the Counseling Center provides a variety of
confidential services.
